Pope County Sheriff's Patrol, Pope County EMS, Hector Fire Department and Pope County Constable responded Wednesday at 4:57 p.m. to Cannaday Flat Road to a plane crash. The Piper Lance single-engine plane, occupied by four males, was reported to have an engine failure at an altitude of 9,000 feet en route to Tunica, MS., from Fayetteville.

The pilot tried to make it to the Russellville Municipal Airport, but determined that they wouldn't make it all the way and made an emergency landing on Cannaday Flat Road. The airplane caught a power line while landing and came to an abrupt stop at the corner of a field a few hundred yards away. All passengers made it out of the plane without injuries.
